They believed that the giving of the commandments reaffirmed their covenant with god.
The Israelites believed that the covenant made with God at Mount Sinai, which established them as God's chosen people and laid out the guidelines for their relationship with Him, was reaffirmed by the giving of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were seen as a key part of this covenant, outlining the moral and ethical principles that the Israelites were expected to uphold.
There are several covenants mentioned in the Bible, but the main ones include the covenant with Noah (Genesis 9), the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 15), the covenant with Moses (Exodus 19-24), and the new covenant through Jesus Christ (Luke 22).
The Ten Commandments are considered moral guidelines for all people, regardless of their faith or beliefs. They emphasize principles such as respecting parents, not stealing or killing, and not coveting others' possessions. Many societies and religions view these commandments as universal moral truths.
Christians believe that God's covenant with David is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is considered by many to be from the line of David. Jesus is seen as the eternal king and the fulfillment of the promise of a kingdom that will last forever. This belief is emphasized in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels and in Christian theology.
Examples of revealed laws include the Ten Commandments in Judaism and Christianity, the Five Pillars of Islam, and the Noble Eightfold Path in Buddhism. These laws are considered divine revelations that guide believers on how to live a moral and ethical life.
True. In the biblical narrative, God made a covenant with the people of Israel at Mount Sinai, outlining the terms of their relationship and setting forth a code of conduct known as the Mosaic Law. This covenant is a central theme in the Old Testament.

A covenant is an agreement, compact or contract between two or more parties. God defines all of the conditions. The people could only accept or decline God's offer. Most Hebrews followed it no matter their life is threaten. They believe in the ten commandments and the law of Moises.
It caused conflicts because the Israelite believed that god had given them this land in the covenant. However the people that settled there who were not Jewish did not believe in the covenant and thought that since the Israelite had left that it was now rightfully theirs. So the conflict erupted over who owned the land.AnswerActually, the Canaanites did believe in the Israelites' Divine covenant: see Joshua 2:9.
Well, the first thing to know about your question, is that the term "Hebrews" is considered a derogatory term. Hebrew is a language. "Ancient Israelites" are the people that we read about in the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament to Christians). Jews today consider themselves to be the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites. Ancient Israelites considered the Ten Commandments to be only 10 out of 613 commandments given in the first five books of the Bible, which they called the Torah. Although these were considered the most important commandments, because they were written directly by the hand of God Himself, it was important to obey all of the other 603, as well. When the ancient Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70 CE, it became impossible to carry out many of these commandments--and this was when the religion that is now known as Judaism was developed.
God made a covenant with the Israelites symbolizing if they kept his commandments and obeyed him then he would give them the land that he promised Abraham or the land of Canaan and that he would also let them prosper and destroy their enemies. The blood of the sacrifices was the symbol of this covenant. This covenant lasted until he gave his only son, Jesus. Then he made a new covenant saying that if you believe him you will have eternal life.
It depends on who is being asked. Jews do not believe that it is incumbent on the descendants of Ishmael to continue to circumcise themselves because they are outside of the Israelite covenant. Muslims believe that circumcision is still mandatory for the descendants of Ishmael.
In the Old Testament God's covenant with the nation of Israel was a conditional covenant. If Israel obeyed God the God would bless them. The new covenant is not conditional in that respect. The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise. The Bible doesn't say that God will send anything except the Holy Spirit to those who believe. Under the new covenant life is not about obeying God's commandments but being led by God's Spirit. However God's Spirit will led a person to obey God's commandments. If Christians obey God they will show all people that they are Jesus disciples.
Jews refer to the 10 statements, since not all of them are in the form of commandments. Traditionally, Jews consider themselves to be bound by the 613 commandments found in the Torah, all of which tradition holds were revealed by God and written down by Moses while on Mount Sinai. The 10 statements etched on the stone tablets are seen as a symbol of the 613. The Christian understanding of the role of the 10 commandments is colored by the idea that these were the heart of the old covenant, and that the coming of Jesus instituted a new covenant. There are several different Christian models of the relationship between these covenants; in some, the new covenant supersedes the old, in others, both remain in force.
